IF YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO WORK
AT A PART-TIME JOB WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL TO EARN YOUR DIPLOMA... |
| You may have difficulty planning
your work schedule around your school schedule. |
|
| |
|
Some secondary school graduates decide that they want
to go to school while they work. In this case, they intend to work as many
hours as possible around their school schedule in the hopes of getting an
education without ending up with a significant debt.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
If you decide to follow this path, you have several
options from which to select.
 |
You can go to university for a degree.
However, this means that you will be working part-time and going to school
for up to four years. This is a very heavy schedule to maintain.
|
|
If you
have to live away from home to attend university, you will still end up
with a large debt.
|
|
If you go to community college, you will end up pretty
much the same way since most diploma programs last about three years.
|
|
An
apprenticeship program would make sense if you have some particular skill
that you can offer.
|
|
|
PREFERRED STRATEGIC PLAN
It is quite likely that your preferred choice may be to attend a
private career college.
You will find that private career college programs
tend to be offered at very convenient times of the day. Programs are
offered in the morning, the afternoon and in the evening.
You will also
find that there are many private career colleges from which to select that
are close enough for you to live at home and commute.
This means that you
can easily balance work and school, thereby earning a post secondary
diploma without having the accompanying debt load upon graduation. |
